New York - Metlife Stadium
Los Angeles - SoFi Stadium
Dallas - AT&T Stadium
San Francisco - Levi's Stadium
Miami - Hard Rock Stadium
Atlanta - Mercedes Benz Stadium
Seattle - Lumen Field
Houston - NRG Stadium
Philadelphia - Lincoln Financial Field
Kansas City - Arrowhead Stadium
Boston - Gillette Stadium
Guadalajara - Estadio Akron
Monterrey - Estadio BBVA Bancomer
Mexico City - Estadio Azteca
Toronto - BMO Field
Vancouver - BC Place

I would say that Kansas City owes Chicago a thank you letter for pulling out.

I don't watch a ton of soccer, but usually watch the WC. I never noticed, but do they always play on natural grass or do they do turf as well?

The deciding factor for DFW was their stellar sports team fan forums. The creme de la creme. (supposedly aka suplesembly)

I don't think there's a set rule. Someone like @bearmick might have a better understanding, but I can't imagine Qatar is going to be having natural grass in November.

Of course, I wouldn't put it past Qatar to give a shit about using resources to water grass at the expense of their populace.

As a fan of golf and a guy that likes to play, I'm trying to find a way to find a difference, but I am failing.

I understand your pain. I love golf but I wouldn't exactly call what I do on the course as "playing golf."
I like to think of it as spending time in high grass or the forest and then pretending to find my ball and to say things like "I forgot that I hit a Pro V1 instead of a Bridgestone"

The city of Chicago continues to take L's. They are losing the Bears and now have lost an opportunity to host the World Cup. Its pretty shameful considering the diverse population of the city. Kansas City being a host city is a joke..

Kansas City is a major MLS town.
